Whole-market mode

Set wholeMarket to true to read every passenger-car listing on Sauto.cz (about 111,000 on 28 October 2026). Sauto returns at most 10,000 listings per search, so the actor splits the market by make and splits the largest makes (Škoda, Volkswagen) into price bands. It checks that the parts add up to the site's own total and saves the check in the run's key-value store as MARKET_READ_SUMMARY.

Price, mileage, year, condition and fuel filters still apply in this mode, so condition: "ojete" reads the whole used-car market. Make, model, search query and start URLs are ignored. Every row has sellerName and dealerId, so you can filter one dealer's own stock out of the market read.

A whole-market run pushes one row per listing, so you pay for about 111,000 results.

Listing tracking and market days supply

With trackListings on, the actor remembers every listing of the search in a key-value store in your account named sauto-tracking. Run the same input on a schedule (daily or weekly). Each run then adds:

• status on every row: new or active, with firstSeenAt, previousPrice, priceChanged and daysListed.
• One row per listing that disappeared since the last run (status: removed). The actor asks Sauto for the ad's own status, so removalClass is potential_sold (deleted or switched off by the seller), reposted (the same car under a new id), expired, or deactivated_by_site (unpaid, too few photos, duplicate VIN). siteStatus and deactivationReason hold Sauto's raw values.
• One __SEGMENT_SUMMARY__ row with active listings, potential sales in the window, mdsDays (market days supply = active listings / average daily potential sales), and p25, median and p75 prices.

Sauto never says that a car was sold, so a removal is a potential sale. Listings are only marked removed when the run read every listing of the search; set maxResults above the size of the search, or use whole-market mode. The first complete run starts the history; removals are counted from the second run on.

Filtering tips

By fuel type

Use Czech fuel names: benzin (petrol), nafta (diesel), elektro (electric), hybrid, lpg, cng.

By price range

Prices are in CZK (Czech Koruna). As a rough guide: 100,000 CZK ~ 4,000 EUR. Set priceFrom and priceTo to narrow results.

By year

Set yearFrom and yearTo to filter by first registration year. In a normal search, year filtering is done client-side, so the actor fetches more data and filters locally. For large result sets with year filters, increase maxResults to ensure enough matches. In whole-market mode the site's own year filter is used.

By mileage

Set mileageMin and mileageMax (km). This uses Sauto's own filter, so no data is fetched and thrown away.

Cost estimate

This actor uses the Sauto.cz public API and is lightweight to run. It charges $0.02 per run (start fee, based on its 4 GB memory allocation) plus $0.002 per result scraped. 100 results costs about $0.22; 1,000 results about $2.02. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Limitations

• Year filtering is client-side in normal searches — The actor fetches results and filters locally, which may require fetching more data than the final output. Whole-market mode uses the site's own year filter.
• Engine power not in API — The search API does not return engine power (kW/HP) data. The power field will be empty. Engine variant info (e.g., "1.6 TDI") is available in the engineSize field.
• Personal cars only — This actor scrapes the "Osobni" (personal/passenger) car category. Commercial vehicles, trucks, and motorcycles are not included.
• API result limit — The Sauto.cz API returns at most 10,000 results per search query. Use whole-market mode to read more than that.
• Data is scraped from the public Sauto.cz API and may change without notice.
